    Bout of Books 16 | Stating My Intentions

    It’s Bout of Books time again! The last time I participated was in Bout of Books 11 – and I didn’t realise so many rounds of the readathon had happened since then. Life, it turns out, really does get in the way.  Bout of Books was my first concerted effort to participate in a readathon so…

    The final update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, it’s day 7, aka the final day, the end, the home stretch etc. etc. I’m not sure how I feel about the progress I’ve made but I will say this has helped show me how I can blog about books and join a community of…

  • Bout of Books Day 6

    Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 6 is here and since yesterday I’ve done nothing more than enjoy my visit to Liverpool. On reflection, perhaps this week wasn’t the best week in which to do a read-a-thon but a low-key, low-fuss read-a-thon like the Bout of Books is perfect…

    Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 5 dawns *cue dramatic music* Updates: 2pm – having read on the train I added another 200ish words to my word count read in this week, suggesting that I should do all my reading on trains. Having said that, I have arrived in…

    Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 4 dawns *cue dramatic music* Updates: 2pm – I have officially read… precisely no more pages since yesterday on account of taking care of a very squirmy toddler who demands attention. I’m going out for a meal tonight which once again means reading will…

    Another quick update post for the Bout of Books 11 Read-a-thon, day 3 dawns *cue dramatic music* Updates: 12pm – I have officially finished my first book, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. I enjoyed it a lot more than I actually realised whilst I was reading it; it only really hit me when I’d…

  • Bout of Books Day 2

    So yesterday didn’t go quite as well as I’d hoped and I have job seeker-y things to do this afternoon but hopefully I can hurry home from those, lock myself away in my room, and get to reading! Updates: 11am – read for a little while in bed this morning – laziness enables reading haha…

    Just a quickie from me to update on my day 1 progress in Bout of Books 11! Updates: 1pm – I had to do some admin-y things for the writing journal I’m part of plus finish cataloguing my books plus proof-read some things… which means my words read count is currently at 0. Oh dear,…

  • Popping my read-a-thon cherry

    I’m fairly new to this whole blogging about books thingymajig (you may have noticed??) and through perusing many booktube videos I have come across many a read-a-thon that I have, unfortunately, been too late to attend. So imagine my delight when I found out about this super low-key, low-pressure read-a-thon called The Bout of Books…
